介绍（中）	Giulio Romano在罗马拉斐尔的工作室开始了他的艺术生涯，在那里他学会了以大师的风格进行设计。拉斐尔去世后，他离开罗马，以自己的权利成为曼图阿贡扎加家族的宫廷艺术家。二十多年来，他领导着一支艺术家团队，为建筑、壁画、挂毯、家具和金银匠的作品提供设计，这些作品展示了他自己的独创性和创造性。在银匠和金匠的作品中，没有执行过的作品幸存下来，但各种设计在绘画和（复制）版画中幸存下来。这种烛台的设计显示了他的建筑倾向，使用扭曲的所罗门柱作为底座来支撑蜡烛。朱利奥曾在罗马圣彼得大教堂看到过这根柱子的模型，它是公元4世纪君士坦丁大帝带来的。他在特宫的建筑设计中使用了这根柱子，并在这里重复了一遍。他想出了一个优雅的、受自然启发的解决方案来支撑蜡烛，形状是一条蛇，其蜷缩的身体与柱子的形状相呼应。
介绍（英）	Giulio Romano started his artistic career in the workshop of Raphael in Rome where he learned to execute designs in the style of his master. After Raphael’s death, he left Rome to become a court artist in his own right to the Gonzaga Family in Mantua. For over twenty years he led a team of artists, supplying designs for architecture, (fresco) paintings, tapestries, furniture and gold- and silversmith’s work which show his own ingenuity and creative sensibility. Of the silver- and goldsmith’s work, no executed pieces survive, but various designs have survived in drawings and (reproductive) prints. This design for a candlestick shows his architectural inclination, using a twisted Solomonic column as a base to support the candle. Giulio had seen the model for this column in Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome where it had been brought by Constantine the Great in the 4th century AD. He used the column in his architecture design for the Palazzo del Te and repeated it here. He came up with an elegant, nature-inspired solution to support a candle, in the form of a snake whose curled-up body echoes the character of the column.
